How is feedback through the rod when working lures?Used the rod this morning took a few casts to get used to using a new rod, fishing with a fresh easterly wind didnât help much as first lure I wanted to use was patch 100,two casts in and got a hit in the dark but didnât stick, but good feedback from the tip, next cast another hit but this time the fish stayed on! A small 40cm fish you can feel everything through the blank, every lunge and head shake.
What I noticed straight away was the length between reel centre and butt cap was a good 40-50cm more than Iâm used to which didnât cause problems but makes it feel awkward for me, but I love really short handles.
But hereâs where the rod really shined, casting lures like the frosty, asturi 110 I was getting an easy 5-7mtrs over my shoregame 8â8â and with a patch2 I ran out of water ( fishing a estuary mark ) This rod is fantastic casting Rod,
Didnât try SPâs so cant say
Am tempted but suspect I'll end up with something else.
